This wasn’t just music—it was a statement that Black artistry does not need permission, validation, or approval to take up space. For artists who fear speaking truth to power, this is a lesson in courage and artistic integrity. No matter how mainstream the platform, it can always be done.

The Revolution Was Televised: Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Show as Radical Art

As an arts researcher and scholar, I could write papers on Kendrick’s Super Bowl halftime show for years. The layered symbolism, historical callbacks, and sheer artistry turned the biggest stage in entertainment into a radical act of resistance. This was more than a performance—it was a thesis.

The revolution was televised—and some of y’all walked straight into the point, slammed your faces into it, and still don’t get it. @kendricklamar3.bsky.social flipped the Super Bowl stage into a battlefield of truth, made Trump sit through it, and exposed the rigged game. The outrage proves he won.

Listen, things are fucked, but that doesn’t mean your accomplishments don’t matter. Wrote a book? Got accepted to a program? Recorded a song? One year sober? Whatever it is, share it. Maybe your joy will bring someone else a bit of joy, and we all need that.

Maybe if the arts weren’t constantly defunded, more people would’ve caught the symbolism in @kendricklamar.bsky.social’s halftime show instead of just tweeting, “Why are there no white people?”

A right that can be given and taken away at the whim of power is not a right at all—it is a privilege, a leash disguised as liberty. If the mere shift of an administration can strip away protections, then we were never free to begin with. We were simply tolerated.

If recognizing Colonial Stockholm Syndrome (CSS) is the first step, the next step is unlearning. CSS thrives in the myths we inherit—about power, identity, and “progress.” It’s not just about seeing the chains; it’s about questioning why we thought they were fine jewelry in the first place.

An orange background with a dotted texture. At the top, the text reads, “HISTORICAL EXAMPLES” with the number “05” in the corner. Below a bold black underline, the text states:

“CSS has played a role in shaping the social, cultural, and political landscapes of many colonized societies.”

There is a white curved line on the right side for visual emphasis.

An orange background with a dotted texture. At the top, the text reads, “MODERN-DAY IMPLICATIONS” with the number “06” in the corner. Below a bold black underline, the text states:

“CSS continues to influence current political debates, cultural identity, and movements against decolonization and self-determination.”

A white arrow points to the text from the left, and a white curved line appears on the right for added design.

Denise Zubizarreta M.A.L.C.M. @thevampdeville.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

Colonial Stockholm Syndrome (CSS) isn’t just personal—it’s systemic. It shapes how we see ourselves, our cultures, and even our governments. From language to leadership, CSS is embedded in the very structures we’re told to trust. Recognizing it is the first step to breaking free.

An orange background with a dotted texture. The text at the top reads, “Key Characteristics of CSS” with the number “03” in the corner. Below, a white arrow points to a bold black underline, leading to the following list of characteristics in alternating black and white text:

• Conflicted Identity
• Internalized Oppression
• Idealization of the Colonizer
• Dependency on the Colonizer

An orange background with a dotted texture. The text at the top reads, “How CSS Manifests in Society” with the number “04” in the corner. A white arrow points to bold black text with some words highlighted in white:

“From language and education to governance and culture, CSS affects how colonized societies view themselves and their place in the world.”

Denise Zubizarreta M.A.L.C.M. @thevampdeville.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

Colonial Stockholm Syndrome (CSS) isn’t just history—it’s the lens we need to understand how colonized minds still cling to their oppressors. From political systems to cultural norms, CSS shapes identities, loyalties, and the myths we’re told to believe. Unpacking it means reclaiming power.

I’ll never understand how generational immigrants think DEI or Affirmative Action didn’t help their families make a living. You benefited from the very system you’re now trying to dismantle. Hard work alone didn’t break barriers—policy did. Without it, your family’s story would look very different.
